Saddam was not longer a threat to the US. I think that GW doesn’t really have a good hold on reality. Like Rep. Murta it is my view that the US maintains a military force for its own defense and not for the defense of the Iraqis against their domestic tyrant. And we the people certainly didn’t buy into maintaining a large military to bring democracy to Iraq. Had any president proposed spending billions on military forces for such reasons he, or she, would have been laughed out of office.

The after-the-fact rationalizations and the ease with which they are picked up and parroted by so many make me fear for the future of the American experiment in self-government.

Bravo. You are a gentleman, a scholar, and a patriot. As long as we have people like you in America, we will have hope.

Well, thank you. However I shun the title “patriot” which has long since been debased by the 200% Americans among us.
